Is bass the most important frequency band?
Maybe not most important but if you not have great bass you're life is not complete. 
Which component to upgrade to improve bass control?
Bass at the listening place is controlled through dsp. Look at Dirac as mentioned or a simple Paradigm (Anthem) ARC processor (0,5K) between your transport and DAC. When you've become more knowledgable you can move up the dsp cchain. Opens up to t... 
Recommendations and thoughts for end game speakers and amps
Thought the Diablo was the real deal but recently left it for the Arva p400/1000 ncore amp driving Salon 2’s. Goodbye to the old technology. But only if you’re prepared for unmasked listening. Much cheaper too... 
What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening?
@tvad I believe that was very good advice from the manufacturer. No dsp software is perfect but you won’t succeed without. You may think so though... 
Integrated/Power Amp for Vienna Acoustics Mahler
What I know the Diablo has a very high gain. Having thea 16 channel Storm as source.

I compared to JC-1, Tidal Impulse, Bladelius Grendel and a NuPrime class-d. And more. I will also during summer (hopefully) try Nelson Pass 250.8 and Hegel H30.The Gryphon deliver what I want. From bottom to top.Yes, they sure have current for any...

Minus 5 db is not a null. It's a small dip. A null is an infinite dip. Your problems seems to be more in the high bass/low mid. If you can trust your measurements.....

Bought the original Diablo used just a month ago and it is amazing driving my Salon 2's. Now of course curious about the even bigger Gryphons :-) but unsure if they produce enough watts to satisfy the Salons. Current they do have. 
What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening?
It's a mistake not to use digital room correction in addition to several subs and sub placement. If you add it to your digital chain it will only improve your sound.For me Dirac bass management plus additional (to my hearing) Roon PEQ filters work... 
Songs for Discriminating Ears
If you like acoustics you can try Eric Bibb recordings. Especially the early ones but also later like his Friends album. This is real imaging and depth, no studio tricks. 
Does Steely Dan sound bright to you?
Not bright, but with Gaucho I think Steely crossed a line where there recorded sound became to slick and unnatural. I.e. Pretzel Logig is a much more natural voiced down to earth and fun recording to listen to. Really good. Even streamed from Tida... 
Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch?
Nope, search for better recorded music instead. 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
Vera Audio P400/1000 or their purifi model. Beats or is equal to my Gryphon Diablo. Dependning on...But as always you need digital calibration of your system to be sure.

Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More!
Thanks for bringing Tracy's first up. It's a great album, but each track sounds very different (makes it a fine test record) and as a whole its a bit edgy with sometimes loose bass, sometimes tight. If you want her to sound sweeter or "better", ma...
